Dark, cooling fruit and sweet spice glide together in the 2012 Domaine de Chevalier, giving a sense of depth without heaviness. Blackcurrant, raspberry and a touch of dried cherry are wrapped in floral notes, gentle toast and a long, silky finish, all driven by the vintage’s vibrant freshness and a firmly woven tannic frame that points clearly to long life in bottle.

Domaine de Chevalier is the grand vin of this historic Pessac-Léognan estate, produced both as a Cabernet Sauvignon–led red and a Sauvignon Blanc–Sémillon dry white, each classified among the Crus Classés de Graves. The red is known for its refined structure, dark fruit, tobacco and graphite nuances, and remarkable capacity to age, while the white is celebrated as one of Bordeaux’s finest dry whites, combining intense fruit, smoky–minerally complexity, and vibrant freshness that reflects its forest-surrounded gravel terroir in Léognan.
